Took a day off on Friday and went home to Chennai.

Received a bonanza gift from my brother for my B-day. Most Expensive, greatest gift I have received so far! Nokia N-91…Wow!!! Still exploring the never-ending list of features….What a brother I have..:) On the other hand, with a heavy heart, I am relieving my Nokia 3310 from the service (served well for 4.5 years)!

It feels like only yesterday that I was dunked in ISB pool…but one year has gone very fast…

On the books front, completed reading “Maverick” and “Search”. Enjoyed reading both…”Maverick” was unconventional stuff..I admire the guy Ricardo Semler..”Search” gives lot of insights about Search Engines and talks in detail about Google’s success story…I have lined up few more books in my reading list…“Liar’s poker”, “Sea biscuit”, “The Argumentative Indian”. Convergys Library has procured some new books. Few of them look interesting…So, my eyes will be busy for next few weeks.

On the Movies front, Watched two 80’s movies. AlPacino’s “Dog Day Afternoon” and Michael Keaton’s “Gung Ho”. “Gung Ho” in particular should be featured in the management movie list (Am not sure if it is). Nice movie about Cross-cultural conflicts [American-Japanese]. Watching “The DaVinci Code” is going to be a dream for some more time…[Banned in Andhra and TamilNadu].

When I came back to hyderabad, I was taken back when I saw a brand new “ONIDA OXYGEN 29 TELEVISION” in my apartment in hyderabad. Three cheers to Vickie-the-clickie for purchasing it…Watching football on the 29 inch flat screen would be awesome! Wimbledon, Tour De France, India-West Indies cricket series are also lined up for the next 1-2 months…

PS: Will write about my role in Convergys in the next post…
